Glitz and Glamour

This gorgeous image is by IndigoBlu and I got it free with a fab IndigoBlu set that came with the magazine Simply Cards and Papercraft - how cool is that! The background is made by swiping Picked Raspberry, Salty Ocean and Squeezed Lemonade Distressed Inks on a heatproof mat and picking up the ink on the card. I dried it with a heat gun then picked up the remaining ink and dried again then splashed water over the ink and dabbed with a piece of kitchen towel then dried completely. The image was stamped with black Archival ink. The edges were inked with the same Distress Inks and a touch of Black Soot then sequins, pearls and glitter were added.

I spy with my little eye somebody whose NBUS schtuff was the same stamp set that I used (only you remembered which h mag it came from) - such a gorgeous set and I love what you've done with it. The background makes it look quite etherealJane

Oh, Christine, she looks so incredible with the jewels in her long flowing hair up against that spectacular background you created! I'm going to bookmark this and try this combination of inks. Your results really took my breath away with this one!! Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #3! I hope you are having a good week!! Hugs, Darnell

About Me

I live with my husband and I have a grown up son and daughter. I love crafting, but don't do as much as I would like, as I suffer from ME. I like the feeling you get from completing a project and the reaction from the person who receives it.
